Between my trips to NYC, Phoenix, Seattle, Palm Desert, and The Salton Sea I’ve got lots to show.

Just not today. Probably not tomorrow either, since I’ll be out of town again until Saturday.

In the meantime, how’s this for a tease?

Robb & Lily were engaged in San Francisco, live in Los Angeles, and will be married this October in Washington, D.C..

Dave and I are fortunate to call these two close pals and I’m really excited and looking forward to shooting their wedding this fall.

The four of us met up yesterday morning and cruised our way up north to the poppy fields. If you haven’t been, GO. Ignore the pollen, grab a friend or loved one, get in your car, and go see the blooms for yourself.

What started out as a lucky $5 find at a Goodwill store and a quick trip to Chinatown for a $4 parasol ended up as a relaxing afternoon disguised as an engagement shoot. I love how these two share a mutual appreciation of being outdoors. Oh, and thank you to Dave for carrying all of my things, waiting on Lily hand and foot (literally, helping her change out shoes was such a kind offer), and just being great company. You are an amazing man, Mr. Masters.

Oh, check out the Bar & Grill in Elizabeth Lake if you’re the kind of person who likes to come home with stories.

I need to play catch up but I’d rather play in fields of poppies.

Coming up:

NYC, An Arizona Wedding, and an engagement shoot in fields of poppies

I’m so thankful it didn’t rain yesterday.

Shot last week on a sunny morning in Del Mar. This dog lady doesn’t mind driving down to San Diego to play with some of her favorite pups.

Culver City’s City Hall has been a go-to spot for photographers for a long time. There are a few reasons for this. First, the building is painted white so it’s a gigantic reflector/softbox making it ideal for evening out skin tones and avoiding harsh shadows. Second, parking is easy and free. Lastly, there’s never anyone there except for Security and they never give us photogs a hard time. So if you’ve ever wondered to yourself why you may see so many headshots or other sessions from this location now you know why.

This is Rolando. He’s easy on the eyes, don’t you think? I’m sure his signature hair will land him plenty of gigs in the future.

To Rolando – Date brillo cadenita que tu mojo llega

(That’s my attempt at using some Dominican words of wisdom – how’d I do?)
